UPDATE: Ramon Mims went before a Bibb County magistrate judge Wednesday. He was denied bond.
A Macon man turned himself in to Bibb County deputies Tuesday in connection with a fatal robbery attempt late Sunday.
Ramon Jerel Mims, 38, is charged with murder in the death of Migell Diadell, 20, who was shot and killed during a robbery attempt in the 900 block of Gray Highway.
Authorities say Mims and Diadell were trying to rob three men behind the O'Reilly's Auto Parts store when one of the victims shot and killed Diadell.
Two men - Travis Edenfield, 18, and Joseph Shedd, 17, - were unloading equipment at a building next door to O'Reilly's, according to a sheriff's office news release.. Deputies say Diadell and Mims approached the two men with a gun demanding money.
The suspects forced Shedd and Edenfield into a truck and drove to an ATM in an attempt to get the victims to withdraw cash, the news release states.
When that didn't work, the suspects drove the victims back to the area behind the O'Reilly's and ordered the men to call their boss, 34-year-old Brian Hinkle, telling him to bring money.
Hinkle showed up, the news release states.
The suspects ordered Edenfield to walk over to Hinkle's vehicle and get the money, according to the news release.
Diadell reportedly began running towards Hinkle and Edenfield firing his gun at them.
Hinkle, who had his gun, returned fire striking Diadell three times, the news release states.
Charges have not been filed against Hinkle
The killing is Bibb County's 23 homicide this year. There were 16 homicides in 2014 and 17 in 2013.
